Recently, some netizens saw a homeless man on the street, although he was ragged, he looked extraordinary, and his eyes exuded a happy look.
Such a contrast is really strange.
Netizens learned after exploration that this homeless man was once the winner of the 1997 college entrance examination in Runan County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province, and after graduating from the National People's Congress, he had started a business in Shanghai and had a good income.
His name is Chang Xuefu, and the reason why he fell to the streets and became a homeless man is actually another story. Let's take a look.
Takako who walked out of the cold door
Chang Xuefu's birthplace is not rich, it is a remote village in Zhumadian, Henan Province. The conditions in his family were also very poor, his parents were farmers, and there was no other source of income. The brothers' tuition and miscellaneous expenses often overwhelmed the two old men.
But what is gratifying is that Chang Xuefu and his brother, both of whom have excellent grades, especially Chang Xuefu, have been a bully since childhood.
Therefore, even if the old two people save money and borrow from east to west, they must insist on letting them finish reading the book, hoping that they can have a good future.
In the year of the college entrance examination, the total score of 900 points of the test paper, Chang Xuefu hardly tested more than 800 points, became the local college entrance examination champion, and was the first time to be admitted to Chinese Min University.
Chang Xuefu's achievements are described as "a sensation in the local ten miles and eight villages", which is not exaggerated at all.
Because in those years, not many rural children could insist on going to high school, and most of them had to drop out of school to work in order to maintain the family's livelihood when they went to junior high school.
If there is a college student in any village, the eight villages in ten miles will know, and the parents will also "beat the gong and drum" to invite the villagers to dinner, and set up a feast to celebrate.
The relatives and neighbors who came to the scene knew that the cost of going to college was not a small expense, and they also presented red envelopes to express their congratulations, and also hoped that the children would not forget the good of the villagers in the future. In this way, the tuition fee of several thousand yuan will also be "put together".
In some places, parents and villagers will even rent a car for them and send them to school to encourage children who have been studying hard for ten years, and parents will also use this to satisfy their own little vanity.
It is conceivable that Chang Xuefu, who was the winner of the college entrance examination, was so beautiful at that time, and he became a role model and pride for countless cold students, and was placed on infinite high hopes.
After entering the university, Chang Xuefu, like many academic bullies, also experienced a gap in thinking.
He eagerly absorbs the nourishment and happiness that knowledge brings him, but at the same time has a deep sense of inferiority.
The NPC is the cradle of the elite, and he deeply feels the limitations of his vision and the flaws in the scope of his curiosity.
Most of the classmates are well-off, and there are very few classmates who are from the same poor background, and their vision and background cannot be compared, and even the academic achievements that were once proud of have become insignificant compared with those versatile students.
The way he countered this sense of inferiority was to study desperately, hoping to use grades to shorten the gap with his classmates.
On the year of graduation, he caught up with the era when graduation was not included in the distribution. But he did not, like other students, keep submitting resumes in the major talent markets, finding a stable place and having a stable income. Instead, he went to Weihai, Qingdao, Beijing and other places to start his own business.
Later, he saw the prospects of the computer industry and decided to start a business in Shanghai, engaged in computer services, expert technical consulting, sales of various computer software and hardware and other services.
Without the support of the family, there is no start-up capital, it is completely on its own, and the hardships can be imagined.
However, he did gain something, and he did not pull a family. In the words of his brother Chang Shan: "He made a lot of money in those years!"
At that time, Chang Xuefu was the pride in the eyes of the neighbors and the positive teaching materials for them to educate their children. For the villagers, Chang Xuefu is a rural genius who has met once in more than ten years, went to a prestigious university, played a company, and became the boss.
His experience is very similar to another version of Yu Minhong, but the direction of his life after that is very different from Thatu Minhong.
Get along with tea rice oil and salt
Chang Xuefu has made small achievements in starting a business in Shanghai, and his family is also looking forward to changing his fate.
After all, when they first gave everything they had to study for the blessing of learning, they wanted him to have a good future, to be able to stand out from the crowd and honor their ancestors, and to let them cross the class and live a different life.
However, what they could not imagine was that Chang Xuefu actually shut down the company without a sound, dismissed the employees, and quietly returned alone.
I don't know what I've experienced, so that he, who is ready to do a big job, is so willing to return to the countryside.
Some speculate that his company went bankrupt because he came back with little money, divorced, and his daughter lived with his ex-wife. But no one knows the details, and he never mentions it, and people only know that he has been tired of urban life ever since.
In the face of his family's doubts and bitter persuasion, he only replied lightly: "Needless to say, I will be at home in the future, and I will not go out!"
The attitude of determination, let everyone know that no further persuasion is useless, but by his nature.
When he returned, he did not live with his family, but built a shed to live on his own.
Since then, Chang Xuefu has opened a fruit shop in the local area and made a living selling fruits. He is usually silent and rarely communicates with people. Talk to people occasionally, because of the difference in insight and thought, it is not on the same channel at all.
When people were still using him as a model as high as the clouds and educating their children, he "landed" in this way, catching people off guard.
The days of Chang Xuefu returned to a state of loneliness. He is often alone and does not like to deal with people. Everyone in the village thinks that he is 80% stupid in reading.
Despite this, the people in the village still think that he must know more than others, so they still ask him for help at the first time. During the period of selling fruit at home, the village committee often asked him to help with some problems with writing materials and computers, which he gladly accepted and completed quickly.
To this end, the village committee specially invited him to help and was willing to pay him a salary. But he politely refused: "I don't want to be constrained!"
Such an argument is nothing more than a strange idea in the village.
Chang Xuefu began to be pointed out by the villagers, saying that he did not think about his family, was a "white-eyed wolf", said that he had read and read white, said that he had no ambition...
In short, all kinds of gossip are all over the place. Chang Xuefu was not angry when he heard it, his family couldn't stand it, let him go to the theory, he also replied lightly: "The three views are different, the lifestyle is different, there is nothing to say!" There is a kind of stubbornness and arrogance that "others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it".
Prosperity ends in a sigh
The confusion and short flight around him, in Chang Xuefu's eyes, turned into a wisp of light smoke and dispersed with the wind.
In his heart, there seemed to be another desire for life. After returning to the village, he revealed to his family that he wanted to go wandering.
At first, his family was strenuously opposed, and his brother and sister-in-law even persuaded him for months. But he said: "I think and behave differently from everyone, even if I stay, you will not tolerate me, and I will not be able to accept you." ”
It didn't take long for him to wander alone.
No one knows whether he has experienced the great pain of life, nor has it been known whether he has suddenly realized the true meaning of life in the ups and downs of the business sea.
I only know that from now on, he will do as he pleases, to be with the stars and the sea, and to be friends with the beautiful scenery.
When he left, he did not bring money, he had no assets, did not bring a mobile phone, did not tell anyone his contact information, and since then he has no fixed home, all over the world, and seems to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.
So how does he maintain a basic life?
His elder brother Changshan once said: "My brother also needs money to wander, and he sometimes helps people to work, herd sheep, and do short-term work for a few days." When he meets a lost person in the desert, he will take others out, and if someone pays him, he will gladly accept it. ”
Chang Xuefu wandered outside for four or five years and traveled almost all of China. He may have seen countless beautiful scenes, experienced more life styles, and his experience and experience are very different from ordinary people.
He seemed to be very satisfied with this state of life, once saying: "I hope that life can live forever in happiness, there is no disease disaster and death, only health, abundance and ease!"
After his news broke, many netizens questioned: "Can wandering be happy?" Can wandering be disaster-free, disease-free and death-free? Taking his parents' hard-earned money, he went to a famous school and finished his work, but he did not work well, he was sorry for his parents, he was sorry for his wife and children, and he was even more sorry for the cultivation of him by the state. ”
There are also people who are kind enough to send him home and let him get together with his family as soon as possible to find a stable job.
In this regard, Chang Xuefu's brother responded: "He will come back every once in a while, he refuses to find a job, and he is not willing to change himself!"
Today he is still wandering around, interpreting "happiness" in his own way.
The difference between Chang Xuefu and ordinary tramps is that he is mentally normal, and the road is also chosen by himself, and he is willing to eat it.
Everyone has their own way of life, perhaps for Chang Xuefu, this is the so-called transcendent life, not to the mainstream values, only with their own will, to be an unfettered free person.
But any freedom and bondage are relative, everyone is not an independent individual, and people still have responsibilities and responsibilities to live.
In fact, the deepest meaning of a person's life is that "life is really hard, but it is worth it in the world." Dedication and love are the true meaning of self-worth in life, and they are also the true code of happiness.
Compared with Chang Xuefu, those ordinary people who work hard to live and dare to face life seem to be braver and easier to obtain happiness in the true sense.
